+Attention all+
To my friends on Newgrounds I say good bye.
Unfortunately due to a crunch on time I must leave NG.
My life has become to hectic for animating and art or even for browsing so I hope this explains my recent lack of postings and or input to NG.

I would like to apologize to all those in the NG SMILEY COLLAB, but I can not continue with it, I feel it was dead anyways, but if your reading this and want to take control of the collab, fell free to do so.
PM me if it ever gets released :)

Some day I may return, perhaps when I get a new tablet, or maybe when i get a burst of free time.
But until that day I say this:
"Thanks for the laughs, thanks for the reviews, thanks for the good times, and thanks for watching my shit :P"

See ya round.

-45percent :]

Finally I have a B.A 3.50 so I can begin doing collab's!
You can't expect many collab's coming your way from me but for now there's this one.
The NG Smiley Collab!
Here's the basic idea:
Have you ever noticed the message mood smiley that appear when your writing a PM?
Of course you have! or if you haven't I have attached a JPEG to clear thing a up for ya :S
Basically I need animators to animate shorts to go with the theme of each smiley.
Eg: the crying face animation a would have something sad happening, the surprised face something surprising and so on.

The criteria is fairly simple and flexible so if your a good animator check it out!
If you have any question feel free to ask via PM, the thread or in your comment :3

Spread the word and join the NG SMILEY COLLAB today!

There's so much going on in my world right now, many of it relating to Newgrounds so just keep you posted here's whats going on:

DoTz 2:
The new DOTZ is nearing completion, luckily we now have Artist-Lost on board so that should make the last few jobs that much easier.
At 90% complete, all that's left is to get those last few character sketch's done and we'll be up and running.
One looming issue is that DOTZ 2 is currently 20mb+!!!
And that's with full compression on, on the up side a friend of mine is going to host it on his site, and then we can link it to a swf which we will submit to NG.
So we can do it, but if any one knows any advanced compression techniques, let me know ;)

User Images:
I've updated my user images in the spirit of the new year.
I now have a fresh, User Page Banner, Profile Picture and DP, and the Forum Signature is almost done.
What do ya think of them?

Madness Tribute:
I'm also working on a Madness Tribute, Its called "Madness Impact" Before its submitted I will get "Krinkles" Approval, as it is his general look I am using and I don't won't upset anybody.
There's a screen shot bellow, so tell me your opinion.
And can I just say this; holy hell Matt it must have been damn hard to make the series :S

Untitled Game:
Currently for school, I am working on a assignment which involves me making something that I enjoy and am good at (Not bragging or anything :P ).
So I'm making a Side Scroller with Hobo-Town .
If all goes well it'll have about 3-5 levels, a world map, enemies, and perhaps even a level up system!!
I'll keep you up to date with our progress on it and if all goes to plan it should be finished and submitted in about 7 weeks.
As you may have already assumed it has no name but don't let that fool you in to thinking it wont happen, its well on the way and I'll get a screen shot up ASAP.

Website:
I am re designing my website( Home Bases.net ).
It will now have a new color scheme, will be made on a combination of Dream Weaver and FLASH and be 100% original (as apposed to a freewebs.com theme)
Though I mentioned months ago that I was doing this, It is only getting underway now due to technical issues, but this time its happening for real :P

Danny Bhoy:
The funniest guy on earth.
2 weeks ago I went to see him perform live with my mate JKAmovies.
He's a Scottish comedian, but he sounds Irish and looks Indian ( sound funny already huh :P ).
He'll make you laugh no matter what, and he leave you with your sides splitting.
I even lost my voice from laughing so much, next time he comes to your neighborhood check him out, you wont regret it :D

That's all for now, but keep checking in cause I'll keep you as up to date as I can :D
Just to keep you entertained until next time:

On February 2nd the whole world will end.
Well not really :S
That's the day me and many of my friends return to school.
Unfortunately, due to this the input of content to NG from me will be put on hold for a while.
But don't think that you've seen the last of me.
Upcoming titles are:
"DOTZ 2"
"How To Add Snaz 2- The video edition"
"The Newgrounds Add"
"System Failure Part 2-The Ultimate reboot"

These titles are all currently under production and may take a while still to be released but in time they will come :)
This is me saying: have a good one :D

------------UPDATE--------------------
DOTZ 2 is nearing completion with only a few thing left to be put in place.
Here is a preview of the Title Screen:

Hey NG,
Just checking in to say hi.
Lately I'm editing my website ( I starting to use Dream weaver, so there is a definite element of challenge) so I am not doing very much animating.
I am working on the System Failure Part 2 and that's coming along well (sorry no spoilers just yet :p ),
And I am also currently studying a book on action script 3.0 so the games should start following in soon enough.
Also guess what....I made a couple of songs for the audio portal, YAY.
There entitled +#Fully Moded#+ and %The Last Beat On Earth%
Here's the links:
Fully Moded
The Last beat on Earth

What do you think of them?

Update:
Check out the Note Pad Collab!
Submit your art into a virtual note book!
Also, Like my new side pic?? (Profile Picture)

I customized a page in my real website (non related to Newgrounds) to have my own more detailed
User Page.
Its full of news, Art, Flash's never published on NG, Even a "today's top flash pick"section with a my favorite flash of the day.
To see it just click on the to Homebases under "contact info" on the left side of the screen or click on this link here: http://www.homebases.net/45percent.htm

First the good news:
Ive changed my header and user images for try! (please comment on them)

Now the bad news: The other day the hard drive containing my .fla folder became corrupt!! :(
Luckily I was able to recovery most of the files using various recovery programs and recovery techniques but alas the Lost City game .fla was lost.
Fortunately I have recovered an older copy of the .fla so the game will continue to be made but I have lost a week or so's progress, so the release will be delayed :(

But life goes on, so we can all keep smiling ! :p

Hey
I'm (as the subject suggests) making a new game called "The Lost City"
If I can finish it in time I'll put it in the Halloween Comp, But I doubt it.
The game is a RPG sort of thing were you walk around, at a side on view, moving a little character about killing monsters.
Any way, I won't spoil things but here is a glimpse of it:

(Title Screen)

I made a new game :}
Go here to check it out: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/

hope you enjoy it.

P.S Here's a random picture I drew in flash:

Unfortunately System Failure 2 is well.......at a dead end (to put it bluntly).
And I believe you cant force ideas for flash.
Basically the flash will be put on Newgrounds when ever I get a bit of inspiration.
I will still keep posting new flash movies games but just not System failure.
Sorry
